Description

A unique Modern English-only translation of the Qur'an, featuring Yusuf Ali's famous translation but with old English words like thou and thee replaced with their modern equivalents. A very simple and easy to read Translation. The Qur'an is a complete and original compilation of the Final Revelation from God to mankind through the last Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. It is a continuation of the earlier Revelations made to Abraham, David, Moses and Jesus, thus certain accounts in the Qur'an and other Revealed Texts are remarkably similar. Finally, the Qur'an was revealed not to distinguish Islam as a separate religion, but the Revelation of God came as a final message that embodies a universal message for people of all times.
